Rack of Ribs

"Try out this recipe for a baked rack of pork ribs with surprise ingredient, sauerkraut, which caramelizes beautifully. Easy and delicious. I get many raves when I make this for company. The ribs just about fall off the bone because they are so tender."

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Season the ribs with salt and pepper and place into a roasting pan that is slightly larger than the rack. In a medium bowl, stir together the sauerkraut, onion and dill; spread on top of the ribs and place around them in the roasting pan.

Bake for 3 to 4 hours in the preheated oven, until the rib meat easily pulls away from the bone.

This was somewhat of a pleasant surprise. I was looking for a way to help use up a bottle of dill weed, and ran across this. It sounded kind of odd, especially since I'm somewhat new to sauerkraut, but I made it exactly as written, and it turned out to be "different", but fairly tasty. I cooked the meat until 3:30, before cutting off a couple of ribs because I was really hungry, and I let the rest cook until almost the entire 4 hours. The meat was nicely cooked, and the flavors were interesting. The whole thing lasted me for four days, I think. Not the most awesome dish, but it was definitely worth trying.
